Press & Print: An after-school Printmaking Club for KS2 students at Barn Croft School - 12 week Course
A welcoming, creative after-school club for children in Years 3–6 to explore printmaking through hands-on making, playful experimentation, and creative discovery.
Children will learn a range of printmaking techniques, develop new skills, and build confidence while creating at their own pace. Each session combines demonstrations with plenty of time for independent exploration in a relaxed, supportive studio environment.
When
Mondays, 3.30–4.45pm
Dates
14 September – 14 December
(No sessions during half term: 26 October & 2 November)
Group size
Maximum 12 children
Cost
£120 for all 12 sessions
Includes all materials and a personal portfolio folder.
We'll work with professional printmaking materials, portable printing presses, and a variety of hand-printing techniques. Each session begins with a demonstration before opening into longer making time, where children can experiment, follow their own ideas, and develop their work with guidance and support.
There is no pressure to produce finished work, the focus is on process, exploration, creativity, and enjoyment.
What's included:
All printmaking materials
Professional inks, papers and tools
Use of portable printing presses
A personal portfolio folder to keep all completed work
Children will:
Build confidence in creative decision-making
Learn a range of printmaking techniques
Explore ideas independently and with guidance
Develop their own creative voice
Enjoy a calm, hands-on studio experience
Is this club right for my child?
This club is ideal for children who enjoy making, experimenting, and exploring ideas. No previous printmaking experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to have a go.
Emma Bond is a London-based illustrator and botanical printmaker whose work explores pattern, texture, and close observation of the natural world.
Emma has lived in Walthamstow with her family for over 13 years and is passionate about creating welcoming, low-pressure creative spaces where children can explore at their own pace. She believes printmaking offers an exciting, tactile way to experiment, solve problems, and develop confidence through making.
Alongside her own practice, Emma leads workshops in schools, galleries, and community settings. She previously spent four years working as a secondary school art technician and has an up-to-date DBS certificate and Paediatric First Aid qualification.
